(VOVWORLD) -The United States will not offer Iran unilateral incentives to attend talks about both sides resuming compliance with the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, State Department spokesman Ned Price told reporters on Thursday.

Price suggested Washington would consider each side taking steps to resume compliance with the agreement once they are at the negotiating table.
He was referring to the deal between Iran and six major powers under which Tehran agreed to limit its nuclear program in return for the easing of US and other economic sanctions.
Former US President Donald Trump abandoned the deal in 2018 and restored US sanctions on Iran, prompting Tehran to begin violating the deal’s nuclear restrictions about a year later.
